While my industry cronies may not play with me anymore for saying this ;-), I would LOVE to have some guidelines and definitions mapped out for both the industry and consumers. It would be wonderful to be able to tell which products are truly making…

If it's new and can be sold, that's all they see. They can sell that much pet food for a dollar a bag very quickly, either to honest people who convince themselves the story they're telling is true, or those who know it's stolen and don't care. I wo…
A remarkable story out of northern Arizona--and unfortunately, I don't mean "remarkable" in a good way. Two men were reported stealing petfood from a charity: enough cat, dog and puppy food to have fed the pets of 1,000 needy families.

The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Margaret Hamburg, recently paid a visit to China and came away saying she was "encouraged" by the partnership her agency is building with Chinese officials and that the country is improv…

Yesterday AdAge.com announced that the US Federal Trade Commission will likely be releasing new "Green Guides" very soon to at least dir

Is the economy creating a black market for petfood?
A remarkable story out of northern Arizona--and unfortunately, I don't mean "remarkable" in a good way. Two men were reported stealing petfood from a charity: enough cat, dog and puppy food to have fed the pets of 1,000 needy families.
The food had been donated by Nestle Purina to Angel's Corner, an organization in Williams, Arizona, USA, that delivers food boxes--including petfood--to
